Making height of box in report dependent of content

[Sietske]

Hi all,

There are a few memo fields in my report, with variable amounts of possible
content. How can I make the height of the box dependent of the content inside
it?

I already tried to figure out the information on
http://www.mvps.org/access/reports/rpt0010.htm, but it was quite complicated.
Is there an easier way to solve my problem?

I hope someone is willing and able to help me; it would make me very happy.

Bye!
Sietske

-- Set the can grow property of the controls for the memo fields to YES
-- Set the can grow property of the section containing those controls to YES
-- Make sure that there are no other controls in the same horizontal space
as those controls

I've found the answer: it was just a matter of changing the properties of the
fields "CanShrink" and "CanGrow" from "No" into "yes". Now it's working fine.
